    Aww man, it is nice with my pics below, but yours make it simply incredible! ;) I think I need more lights, but I need them to be just off of the coin. It makes my pics look too "cartoonish".

    the third coin to what is going to be my good to fine seated quarter set i hopefully will complete in ten years
    photos are the sellers, the reverse looks far better in hand. and this is a good example of how mintage sometimes has little effect on price. 43k minted

    Holy smokes, a blast from the past! Those were some of the first toners I ever bought.
    Not to mention I was just starting to try and learn coin imaging.

    Here is a comparison of the old pictures, and the new ones. I think I got a little better.

    You know, I like the old images as much as the new. I wish I had two sets of images when I'm buying a coin on the net: one that shows the luster, and another that shows the complexity of the color.
